Or "god jul", as we say in Norway.
Yeah, I am not gonna finish the Celtic Spirits game today. I will try to finish it by New Years, but no promises.
Edit: So, what did you guys get for Christmas? For those of you who celebrate it on the 25th (we celebrate it on the 24th in Norway, as well as the other Nordics and central Europe), you can wait until you've unwrapped your gifts, no worries.
Here's what I got this year:
-Plush penguin and chocolate from my best friend in New Zealand
-Hat, bag, scarf, necklace and pin from my sister
-1000 kr (about 120 US dollars), a quesadilla maker, perfume, and a potato chip bowl shaped like a Viking ship from my mom
-Gift card of 300 kr to the local mall from my brother
-Animal protection supported plush fox from my mom (One of those toys you buy where the money goes to animal welfare groups)
Edit: Now I also recieved the present from my friend in Scotland. Damned slow British postal system. :c
-Shortbread sheep, tartan brooch, and a little ceramics Loch Ness monster. We decided to give each other stereotypical gifts from our respective countries this year, so I gave her something typically Norwegian, and she gave me something typically Scottish.
I might have gotten more, but I don't quite remember everything.

New Discord server
Hi, I decided to make a dedicated Discord server where I'll be posting everything related to The Wizard's Bestiary, including the translated script for the first chapter, if anyone wants to read it and give feedback. I'm not going to be giving a public link to this because I don't want a bunch of spam bots, and I'm also wary of NFT art thieves, but if you want access to it, just send me a private note here on DeviantArt, and I'll give you the link.
I think I'm going to call it quits
I've been on this website for 15 years, and it's been ups and downs, but lately I feel like this website might not even have a purpose to exist anymore. Everywhere I look, there's nothing but AI "art". Just pages upon pages of stuff no one even made, just created by a machine that users typed random keywords into, letting the machine mash together other people's artwork for them. The website is so completely oversaturated with these pieces, most of which have no comments, no favourites, and are mostly in the exact same art style, and frankly I'm beginning to find it really depressing to go on here. AI art has a place in the world, but this is not it, it should never be displacing real artists like this. The biggest hit for me on this site was when Flash died, and ever since, my page has basically been on life support, and this was the final straw. I went through the NFT nonsense last year with people stealing my pictures to sell as NFTs, but unlike NFTs, I don't see AI art as just a
To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of Instagram, or social media in general, but as a bit of an update, I'm now an apprentice at a tattoo studio, so I need to have Instagram in order to advertise to potential customers in the future. As such, I'm going to be uploading some of the same stuff that's here on DeviantArt there, so don't worry if you see someone called Ninarotattooart posting the same pictures as me, that's just my Instagram account. I'll also be adding some personal watermarks to my works instead of just the generic DeviantArt ones, but it's not a big difference, to be honest.
Movie review: The Northman
I had high hopes for this film. Being directed by the man behind The Lighthouse, and more importantly The Witch, which is one of the most historically accurate movies ever made and also my favourite horror movie, I thought this would finally be the Hollywood movie to do away with the mindless savage stereotype and do the Viking Age and Norse culture justice. I was wrong. Spoilers ahead, though seeing as this is basically a Viking version of Hamlet, I'm sure most of you already know how it ends. So first of all, let me mention that while I am not an expert, I am still a big Viking enthusiast, and I've done a lot of research on their culture and history over the years, and am a member of a Norse historian and reenactment community here in Norway, so I do have a pretty good clue on what's correct and what isn't. Second of all, I am bewildered at how positive the reception for this supremely stupid movie has been. Seriously, I cannot state this clearly enough: the way this movie depicts
